Explanation
The Charter Act of 1833 (also known as the Saint Helena Act 1833) added a fourth member to the Governor-General's Executive Council, specifically designated as the Law Member. This member was responsible for providing legal advice and assisting in the codification of laws, though they initially did not have the right to vote in the council's proceedings. Lord Macaulay was appointed as the first Law Member under this Act.
- Regulating Act of 1773: Established the Governor-General of Bengal and a council of four members.
- Pitt's India Act of 1784: Reduced the number of council members from four to three.
- Charter Act of 1813: Focused on ending the East India Company's trade monopoly (except for tea and trade with China) and promoting education.
